At the beginning of October, the Duhe Fort entered the early winter season, and the trees faded their green and took on an ochre yellow coat.

Zhang Conghe and Zhuang Youfu no longer go out to dig wild vegetables, and the granary of Gaojun Mountain has been piled up, with 300,000 catties of rice.

Sun Kewang and Feng Shuangli also returned, and they brought back a team of six thousand people. These 6,000 people were not recruits, but the rebels who were sent back to their hometowns by Yang He, the governor of the three sides.

Sun Kewang also brought back this time a person who went to Beijing to catch up with the exam and failed to take the exam, this person is a Changshu in Jiangsu, and went to Shaanxi to play before returning home, just happened to encounter a military rebellion, took refuge in a farmer's house, and was caught by Sun Kewang.

Gao Junshan sat in the military tent and asked people to invite this lifter.

He was nearly thirty years old, with thin eyebrows and a square face, a black scarf on his head, a thin wide-brimmed straight-body slanted collar and wide-sleeved blue satin shirt, and a pair of brown high felt boots on his feet.

Gao Junshan asked, "Who is here?" ”

The tone of the coming man was slightly arrogant: "Zhao Shichun, the person who was raised in the court." ”

"Oh, I'm still a scholar!" Gao Junshan pointed to the chair next to him, "Please take a seat." ”

After Zhao Shichun sat down, Gao Junshan asked, "What are your plans for the future?" ”

Zhao Shichun said indifferently: "Since it is in your hands, what else can you do?" If you want to kill, you will kill, if you want to kill, you will listen to it. ”

"What if I keep you?"

Zhao Shichun said contemptuously: "Do you want me to be with you?" Can't do it! Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated. ”

Gao Junshan smiled: "You really have backbone." I will not kill you, and I will not insult you. You don't want to stay, and you can't go on an empty stomach, and besides, it's winter now, and you're still wearing so thin, you will freeze to death before you get out of Shaanxi. In this case, you have a full meal of white rice first, and I will send a cotton robe. ”

"Won't let me 'click' when I'm full?"

Gao Junshan asked someone to take a cotton robe and put it on Zhao Shichun in person: "If I want to kill you, I won't waste white rice!" ”

………………

What Gao Junshan didn't expect was that Jin merchant Huang Yunfa was really credible, and on the eighth day of October, Huang Yunfa's horse team appeared in the suburbs of Duhe Fort in the cold wind.

He told Gao Junshan that there was a horse dealer who came from outside the Saiwai and said that he was looking for the King of Qin, and Gao Junshan immediately asked the Red Army friend to invite this horse dealer.

This horse dealer is none other than Huang Yunfa, who not only brought a thousand war horses to Gao Junshan, but also brought him a foreign girl with a beautiful country.

This girl's name is Ji Ya, and she is the daughter of Huang Yunfa's friend, because the family is about to face the danger of extinction, Huang Yunfa, a friend outside the Sai, entrusted his daughter to him.

He is a businessman, wandering around, and it is very inconvenient to carry this exotic girl with him. He thought of Gao Junshan and thought that it was the most suitable to be placed next to Gao Junshan, and if the two were happy, maybe they could achieve a good marriage.

Jiya, who is far away from her homeland, is worried, one is worried about her parents, and the other is that she can't understand her language. Gao Junshan let Liu Fanglan and Han Yuyan accompany him day and night, and gradually there was a slight smile on her face.

Huang Yunfa lived for three days in the old camp in Gao Junshan, and Gao Junshan learned some about the dynamics of the captives from Huang Yunfa, who often interacted with the Mongolian tribes. When Huang Yunfa left, Gao Junshan gave him 100 bags of rice and hoped that he would continue to sell horses to him in the future.

Gao Junshan knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in this troubled world, he must have a strong cavalry in order to be invincible in future battles.

Of course, gunpowder is also essential. Gao Junshan once asked Cai Zhishan about the preparation of gunpowder, and Cai Zhishan told Gao Junshan that he himself did not understand gunpowder, but one of his fellow villagers, named Sun Yuanhua, was a gunpowder expert, and his brother, Sun Yunlong, was under Cai Zhishan's hands.

Cai Zhishan told Gao Junshan that Sun Yuanhua was the governor of Shandong Deng, Lai, and Erzhou, with the word Chuyang, the number Huodong, and the native of Jiading. Western artillery expert, fluent in Portuguese. He and a foreigner named Matteo Ricci translated a book called "Geometric Originals", and also wrote "Taixi Arithmetic", "Geometric Usage", "Geometric Body Theory", "Western Miscellaneous Works", and his "Western Fa Divine Machine" is a book dedicated to Western cannon casting, gunpowder making, and fort building.

Gao Junshan really wanted to see this man named Sun Yuanhua, so Cai Zhishan immediately sent Sun Yuanlong to Shandong.

It's November, and the autumn wind is whining, rolling up gusts of loess.

One day, the tragic news came from Ningsai Fort that the leader of the rebels, Shen Yikui, had been killed by his subordinate Huang Youcai.

The Red Army friend also got the news, and he hurriedly came to Gao Junshan: "King Qin, there has been an emergency in Ningsai Fort, please allow me to lead my troops to quell the rebellion." ”

Gao Junshan was worried: "In this way, Ningsai Fort will definitely be in turmoil, and we must not rush there." You go back first to straighten out your troops and horses, how to behave, and listen to my orders. ”

"Obey!" The Red Army friend didn't say a word, turned and left.

Gao Junshan looked closely at his watch, this watch was customized for him by the high-energy neutrino application center, the application of advanced neutrino technology, the watch screen can open the satellite map, and there are positioning settings, after opening the satellite map, a green dot on the watch screen is where he is. The High Energy Neutrino Application Center also thoughtfully installed an S-generation bio-sensing system for him, which can detect organisms within 10 kilometers through neutrino rays.

Gao Junshan's satellite signal is transmitted through the Ink Ion Satellite, which can be transmitted through the black hole to Gao Junshan, and since his communication equipment has been destroyed, he has no way to send information back to the base.

The location of Gao Jun Mountain is twenty miles away from Ningsai Fort, which means that any creature on the road between Duhe Fort and Ninzai Fort will be reflected on the dial of Gao Jun Mountain.

As expected, red dots did appear on the dial, and more and more red dots, coming from east to west.

He summoned Sun Kewang and ordered him to lead a light cavalry to investigate, and if he found the Ming army, do not engage it, and come back immediately, without delay.

Sun Kewang took the order and left, and Gao Junshan began to arrange a countermeasure: all the cavalry in the Red Army commander, about 4,000 people, were ordered to attack at any time; Cai Zhishan led 3,000 infantry and musket teams to deploy on the front line of the Jiangdu River; Feng Shuangli led 1,000 infantry as a reserve; Gao Junshan stayed in the old camp.

After everything was arranged, Sun Kewang's outpost also returned.

According to Sun Kewang's report, the red dots that appeared on the dial of Gaojun Mountain turned out to be a 10,000-strong righteous army that had been defeated from Ningsai Fort, led by Liu Hongru, a military advisor of Shen Yikui, and generals Li Busi, Ke Tianfei, and Liu Daojiang.

Cai Zhishan on the bank of the Chen Bing River did not relax his vigilance, and only after confirming that Liu Hongru was not hostile did he let them cross the river.

My brother came, and he was entertained with good wine and food, and he ate fragrant rice as he wanted.

More than 10,000 people, who have never had such a good treatment in Ninseyburg, are often full of hungry people, in the face of the delicacies in front of them, who does not gobble up, eat cups and plates.

Gao Junshan invited Liu Hongru, Li Busi, Ke Tianfei, and Liu Daojiang to a separate banquet, accompanied by Bailisha.

Liu Hongru is also an elegant person, he exchanged names and names with Bailisha, and the two exchanged pleasantries.

Bailisha arched his hand to Liu Hongru and said: "Brother Wenxuan, look up for a long time!" ”

Liu Hongru replied: "Brother Mao Cheng, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

The two of you say a word to me, and there is a great sense of pity.

Gao Junshan raised the wine glass in his hand and said: "Thanks to the heroes who look up to me Gao Junshan so much, I salute you with a glass, drink this glass of wine, we are brothers who share life and death!" ”

Li Busi took a sip of wine and said, "King Qin, I will do it first as a respect." From now on, King Qin will do whatever he tells me to do, and there will be no two words! ”

The crowd raised their glasses......

During the banquet, Liu Hongru reported to Gao Junshan about the changes that had occurred in Ningsaibao.

The reason for the incident is that due to the rebellion of the rebels who were appeased from all walks of life, such as Shen Yikui, Zhang Cunmeng, Li Laochai, and Lone Wolf, the trilateral governor Yang He, who pursued the strategy of "appeasement as the main thing, pursuit and suppression as the supplement", ended in failure, and Yang He himself was imprisoned.

After Yang He was imprisoned, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui, sat on the throne of the governor of the three sides. Trilateral Governor, in charge of the military affairs of Yansui, Gansu and Ningxia. This official position can govern the governor of Hexi, Hedong, Shaanxi, and the nine general armies of Gan, Liang, Su, Xi, Ningxia, Yansui, Shendaoling, Xing'an, and Guyuan, and the military power is very large.

Before the chair of the governor of Hong Chengchou's three sides was hot, he dispatched troops to attack the righteous army on the West Road in several ways: Cao Wenzhao waved his army to Jiazhou and pursued Zhang Cunmeng; He sent the dragon soldiers to Qingyang to defeat Li Laochai and the lone wolf; Du Wenhuan and He Huchen joined forces at Ningsai Fort, and the sword blade pointed directly at Shen Yikui; There were also Zhang Fuzhen, Chen Qiyu and other people who recruited several small groups of rebels.

Du Wenhuan and He Huchen commanded 5,000 cavalry and set up a battlefield in Nanshan of Ningsai Fort. Shen Yikui had an army of 30,000 and 5,000 hussars, and he didn't take Du Wenhuan and He Huchen seriously, so he didn't ask Gao Junshan for assistance.

Before the two armies fought, Du Wenhuan secretly bought off Shen Yikui's subordinate general Huang Youcai, and Huang Youcai killed Shen Yikui on the front line of the battle between the two armies, resulting in the collapse of the rebel army in Ningsai Fort. He Lin'an, Yang Laochai, Du San, Liu Wu, and Liu Liuwu led 20,000 horses to flee in the direction of security, and Liu Hongru led more than 10,000 people to Gaojun Mountain.

After listening to Liu Hongru's story, Gao Junshan frowned. Wang Jiayin and Shen Yikui were both killed by their own people, and this bloody lesson alerted Gao Junshan to always guard against the people around him.

On top of the banquet, Gao Junshan gave the four new recruits a specific division of work:

Ke Tianfei led more than 1,000 cavalry under the command of the Red Army;

Liu Daojiang led 2,000 crossbowmen under the command of Cai Zhishan;

Li Busi commanded 7,000 infantry to form an army of its own.

Liu Hongru stayed by Gao Junshan's side to give advice.

Gao Junshan's order, 10,000 horses, it only took an hour, and they were all returned to you, after all, they were all trained on the battlefield, and the speed of action was still fast.

Just after noon, Gao Junshan noticed from the dial that a large number of cavalry were rushing towards him in the direction of Nimseiburg, and the reason why he knew that it was cavalry was that he analyzed the speed of the red dot's movement.

Are these cavalrymen friend or foe?
